La corónica Book Award

The MLA Forum, LLC Medieval Iberian is pleased to
announce the La corónica Book Award, an annual
international prize for the best monograph published on Medieval Hispanic
Languages, Literatures, and Cultures.

The award is announced each May at the
International Congress of Medieval Studies held at Western Michigan University
(Kalamazoo, Michigan), with a special session convoked in the following year to
honor the recipient and advance the themes of his or her research with the
honoree serving as principal respondent. A cash prize and certificate
accompanies the award. Anthologies of studies by multiple authors, collections
of previously published articles, teaching tools, popularizations of medieval
life, data bases, non-critical editions and creative works of fiction or verse
are not eligible for this award.

Submission of entries can be made by authors,
their publishers, their academic institutions, or their colleagues by sending
three copies of the book to the Book Review Editor of La
corónica by November 15, 2017. We regret that those copies
cannot be returned. A simple cover letter formally proposing the work as a
nominee for the La corónica Book Award is the only
documentation that will be required. The work should stand on its own merits
without additional testimonials, endorsements or reference to published
reviews. Please do include full contact information for the party making the
nomination and for the author of the book submitted. The award will be made in
May 2018 for a book published in 2016. The annual deadline for submission is
always October 1 of the year following the year of inprint, with the Award to
be made at the next International Congress of Medieval Studies.
